I never heard that rumor. The company originated and is based in Boston, while extreme racism originated in the South.

Here are sites that addresses that rumor specifically:

The owner is Jewish, and the KKK doesn't like Jews either. Here are anti-Israeli sites that tell people to boycott Timberland:
